Those who enforce anti monopoly laws are going to have something to say about this.

Indeed, however if it entered Russian air space without permission, then the Russians may have a legal basis to shoot it down or at least challenge it. .

@jeffjarvis

Interesting development,

@baldur

I am waiting for the lawsuits to start where students use AI to write an assignment, if they then fail, they try and sue, on a similar note students who do the work, but end up with lower marks also sue for unfair marking as they have actually done the work etc.

Seems the whole area is also a legal minefield.

@TruthSandwich @AlliFlowers

Well the law may protect people from malicious communication, for example. Plus there is actual hard evidence in the case of what is posted.

@TruthSandwich @AlliFlowers

From a recent report in the UK children as young as 9 are being targeted for abuse on line oddly on platforms such as tik-tok and snap which they are meant to be 13 + to sign up to.

Phones to some people / parents are babysitting devices to keep the kids quiet,

@TruthSandwich @AlliFlowers

I am not advocating caning here , what I am saying is people are led to think they can get away with things, that as adults they clearly won't get away with, so don't feel there are actual consequences.

Fmr President Donald Trump seems an excellent example of someone who thinks they do no wrong.

@TruthSandwich @AlliFlowers

Which is why I said LIES, oddly if they had any IQ they would realise that if they say hands are tied, you threaten action and hands are suddenly untied, you report the headteacher for LYING and get them struck off

When we had caning in schools, lying would have got you a caning, so why cant it get lying teachers the sack.

Some heads are so obsessed with rights of the child, the child becomes untouchable, the problem there is when the child hits 18 and is an adult they are no longer untouchable and could face prosecution for actions they had got away with at school

@asbestos @TruthSandwich

I agree,

@AlliFlowers @TruthSandwich

I have worked in schools, one school the regular abuse from a few students resulted in me giving the school an ultimatum, basically said this abuse stops or I will take legal action against the school.

Oddly the LIES about hands being tied, stopped too.

@TruthSandwich @asbestos
Which is why I said that what has happened will probably lead to more regulation of home schooling, in many cases we need to look at why a child is home schooled, sometimes it is lack of support from the school as budgets are tight and that extra Teaching Assistant can't be afforded in the school finance budget.

Sometimes it is bullying at school or similar issues, that mean parents just feel they are not getting anywhere, and a host of other reasons.

@asbestos @TruthSandwich

Well if managers don't back the staff doing the job, perhaps reduce management and give the resources to the people that need it.

@TruthSandwich @asbestos

Agreed, hence lessons need to be learned. But practices need to change too.
